Really cool course for the budding producer. Great insight on how to process sounds, make them sit in the mix which is the holy grail in my opinion. There is also tons of stuff here for the seasoned engineer. Just goes to show how important gain staging is!

What's interesting is that Collin talks about gain staging, but a lot of this tracks on there like the synths are sitting at 0 or slightly under 0db. If you export for mastering, wouldn't this track be too loud? I know he said that it's the sum total that matters going to the master bus, but wouldn't even 1 synth at 0db blow all your headroom?
